Blind defence

[imitation]

unorthodox bleh.

I have folded my blind quite a few times in this session to villian who is v/LAG preflop less so post, betting usually means ~a piece~. I have a tight table image and especially so against this villian, i've cr'd with the goods a couple of times.

fold preflop.

coldcalling out of the SB against a stealraise is not wise either. I would rather be defending with 89 than K3, and I never defend with 89 in the SB. Wait until you at least are in the big blind to be pulling risky defenses.

What do you do when the BB decides to call now that you've added a bet and a half to the pot? I think this is a pretty bad move all around.

i am almost NEVER (i'm trying to think of a situation but can't really) calling out of the sb. 3 bet it or fold. since you're not about to 3 bet your K3, fold.

Actually IF you decide to play the hand, AND the thief is realtively straight postflop, you might well be better off 3-betting from the SB.
